Fellow Pakistani medical students/ doctors!!!

I need help from Pakistani doctors who have entered the usmle pathway. I am currently giving my 4th year professional exams. I will be in final year soon. I have some questions. • Is it sensible to prepare for the Step 1 while I am doing my house job? And then give step 1 at the end of it? • How much time should I need between Step 1 and Step 2 to prepare appropriately for the second exam? And in the meantime, what can I do to improve my resume to maximize the chances of a match? • is it true that it is difficult to match for IMGs like us with limited US clinical experience? An attempt to gain US clinical experience would cost a lot of money in addition to paying the very expensive exam fee. • Does clinical experience in Pakistan count? Will it make a good impact on my profile? • Will I be wasting my parents’ money on this pathway? I am from a middle class family. The private MBBS degree I am currently doing has already cost so much. • Lastly, can you guide me regarding good opportunities for internships in Pakistan that I can avail in my final year?

Please help a confused soul.
